In a win for science, NASA told to use House budget as shutdown looms

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-20 03:38:10

The situation with the fiscal year 2026 budget for the United States is, to put it politely, kind of a mess. The White House proposed a budget earlier this year with significant cuts for a number of agencies, including NASA. In the months since then, through the appropriations process, both the House and Senate have proposed their own budget templates. However, Congress has not passed a final budget, and the new fiscal year begins on October 1. As a result of political wrangling over whether t

Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that it was going to reject the work it had done back in 2009, when it first determined that greenhouse gas emissions posed a threat to the US public. While it laid out a number of reasons for revisiting its earlier work, one of those focused on the science: The EPA's original decision was over 15 years old, and it claimed our understanding of climate change had itself changed since then.

Would You Use a Mouse With a Fake ‘Click?’

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-21 11:03:17

Logitech’s race to offer an esports mouse with the fastest response time has led us to a mouse that’s completely different than any I’ve used before. Mice have relied on the same type of microswitches for their button clicks for so long, it’s hard to imagine what would be next. So I didn’t know what to think when I sat down in front of the $180 Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike mouse that doesn’t “click” in the traditional sense.
